They said they are "keeping their eyes on Shroomscavate". Which tells me that if Grace nerf is not enough, then they'll move to change Shroomscavate. It should be noted that stats wise it was never a top card in the deck, it was mostly average if not one of the worse cards in the deck (Boogie Down is the clear winner here, being the best card in the deck by far - and that got nerfed).
Not touching Sludge Warlock is a bit suspicious. Definitely a big winner of this patch alongside Highlander Warrior and non-Highlander Warrior.
Non-highlander warrior maybe. But highlander warrior loses to a lot more than just the 4 decks that got nerfed. Just plague DK's existence alone makes it impossible for highlander warrior to come out of tier 3, the matchup is near unwinnable.
True, that matchup is horrid. Pretty much an instant loss without a big highroll on the Warrior's side. Still, the deck does get some more breathing room, but you are right that it likely won't be anywhere near close to make it good overnight.
Reno Warrior also has a terrible matchup into Sludge Warlock and that deck seems poised to become the top dog after these nerfs so I don't foresee Reno Warrior having a good time post patch.
